Chapter 2111
"Are you sure everything's alright? Why's your face so red?" Lulu asked, stretching her hand out in an effort to feel Nicole's forehead for a fever.
After ducking away from Lulu's hand, Nicole replied, "I'm fine, really. It's a little hot today."
"Hot?" Lulu looked over at the thermostat, through which the temperature for the air conditioner had been set to the lowest.
Nicole then followed Lulu's gaze. 'How could I find such a lame excuse!?'
"Nicole, you're not feeling hot. Are you...shy?" Lulu discovered in surprise, seeming to understand why Nicole looked a little off.
Overwhelmed by an instant surge of embarrassment, Nicole went ahead and protested, "No, why would I be shy?"
"Oh.' Lulu frowned, thinking for a while before nodding." You're right."
Finally, Nicole heaved a mental sigh of relief as she saw that Lulu did not press on with any further questions. "Okay.
There's nothing wrong with me, you can go do your work."
"Okay, then I'll be off now" Lulu turned around and left the office.
Once again, Nicole unconsciously recalled her dream from the night before, and when she did, her face flushed a deep shade of red once more.
That train of thought was only derailed when she heard a knock on the door, allowing her to snap out of it and say," Come in."
Lulu opened the door and entered before placing a document on Nicole's desk with a serious expression on her face. "There seems to be a problem."
"Where?" Nicole opened the document suspiciously, skimming through the contents with her eyebrows furrowed.
